Subject: 5.3.y stable branch has been bumped to 5.3.3?

Hi Greg, I'm seeing what looks like an extra commit [1] in the 5.3.y branch
post the 5.3.2 tag, bumping version in the Makefile to 5.3.3.
Historically the version bump has only happened once all the stable
patches have been applied and the new version is getting tagged -- is
this a mistake or intentional change in process to pre-bump the version?

[1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-5.3.y&id=9c30694424ee15cc30a23f92a913d5322b9e5bd3

Thanks.

Err, sorry about the noise, just saw your note from Tuesday.
